Our Carli is a Blessing - A Gift From Heaven Above

A WEE BIT OF HEAVEN DRIFTED DOWN FROM ABOVE

YOU LIGHT UP THE WORLD WITH YOUR SWEET BABY CHARMS

Sunday, July 19, 2015

Here's a blog post of mostly pictures of our cute little man. The last two weeks have been great. Drew is a great baby. He nurses well, and isn't often fussy. We've even gotten him to sleep in four hour stretches at night a couple of times. Drew loves his paci, and yes, he is still wearing mittens b/c I have a fear of cutting baby finger nails. He is a bit jaundice but that is slowly going away. We aren't quite up to our birth weight yet, but after the last couple of days of nursing consistently every two hours we should achieve that goal by the time we go back for a weight check on Tuesday. The girls LOVE Drew and he tolerates all their kisses and "pets" pretty well. With all that said...here's a few pics of our little man...

At one week old, Drew was back to 8 lbs 3 oz at his weight check. At 2 weeks he was 8 lbs 5 oz. He has to get back to his birth weight before we can stop with the weight checks. After the demand of nursing this weekend, I'll be surprised if he doesn't hit or exceed his birth weight of 8 lbs 9 oz.

He takes his paci & nursing very seriously.

Bad lighting makes him look a bit yellow - but look how long he is!﻿

Sporting his new onsie from Uncle Tone & Aunt Lollie while he naps after his pictures this week.
